Afghanistan has its own version of the famous British comedy actor Charlie Chaplin.
His name is Karim Asir. He wears makeup and clothes to look like Charlie Chaplin did in movies. Asir also uses similar physical movements. He performs on the streets and at events in the Afghan capital, Kabul.
Afghanistan has dealt with many years of deadly civil conflict, foreign military invasion and widespread destruction.
The 25-year-old actor says his goal is to use humor to help take people's minds off the difficulties they face every day. It is very simple, I want to give Afghans a reason to smile, he said.
Charlie Chaplin rose to fame during the silent film age in the 1920s. His movies became popular around the world.
One of his most memorable characters was a funny-looking man known as "The Little Tramp." This character had no money and was always getting into trouble. The creative methods he used to get out of trouble were always humorous.
Asir told Reuters news agency that his family fled to Iran after the Islamic Taliban group took control of Afghanistan in 1996. He said as a child there he would watch Chaplin's movies on television.
When the family returned to Afghanistan, Asir started wearing makeup and recreating Chaplin's characters. He also began performing in public, even though his parents expressed concerns about him making this his job.
Asir recently spoke to Public Radio International's show The World. He said his parents wanted him to seek more steady work choices, such as a politician or doctor. But he said he felt his interests and skills would be better used in other ways.
I said to my father and to my mother that I can't be a doctor but I have the skill to become an artist, he told The World. He added that his parents showed understanding over time and he decided to study theater at Kabul University.
Now, Asir says he parents are pleased when they see his videos getting more than 1 million views on YouTube. And he said they like that people line up on the street to take pictures with him.
But it is not always easy for Asir to perform in a city that suffers repeated attacks by Taliban rebels and suicide bombers. Militants have threatened Asir, whose performances, they say, are un-Islamic.
But Asir still performs in public parks, homes for needy youth, as well as private parties and international aid agencies' events.
I want to give my people a chance to forget their problems such as war, conflicts and insecurity in Afghanistan, he told Reuters.
To do this, he keeps smiling while performing around the city and meeting with fans. But Asir says that inside, he cannot help but feel fearful about possible attacks.
I am afraid of getting attacked by a suicide bomber or an explosion, but these issues cannot stop me from being Charlie Chaplin, he said.

参考译文
阿富汗也有知名英国戏剧演员查理 卓别林(Charlie Chaplin)的翻版。
他就是卡里姆 阿西尔(Karim Asir)。他的妆容和服装都跟卓别林在电影中的打扮一模一样。阿西尔的动作也跟卓别林十分相似。他在阿富汗首都喀布尔的街头和各种活动中进行表演。
多年来，阿富汗饱受致命民间冲突、外国军事入侵和泛滥的破坏之苦。
25岁的阿西尔表示，自己的目标是用幽默来帮助人们不去纠结于每天面对的困难。他说，很简单，我想给阿富汗人一个微笑的理由。
上世纪20年代，卓别林因出演默片而一炮走红。他的影片全球闻名。
卓别林嘴让人难忘的角色当属一个面相滑稽的男人，名为“流浪汉”。
阿西尔在接受路透社采访时表示，1996年伊斯兰塔利班组织控制了阿富汗，随后，他举家逃到伊朗。他说，小时候，他经常在电视上看卓别林的影片。
全家人回到阿富汗时，阿西尔开始带上妆容，再造卓别林的各种角色。他还开始在公共场合表演，即便父母担心他做这行会有问题。
阿西尔最近接受了国际公众电台《世界》频道的采访。他表示，自己的父母希望自己能选择更安稳的工作，比如政客或者医生。但他表示自己觉得自己的兴趣和技能可以更好地用在其他方面。
我跟父亲和母亲说我做不了医生，但我有做一名艺术家的能力，他在接受《世界》栏目采访时这样说道。他还补充说，随着时间的推移，父母逐渐对他表示理解。而他也决定在喀布尔大学攻读戏剧专业。
如今，阿西尔表示，父母很高兴看到他的视频在YouTube上有100多万的点击量。他表示，他们很高兴看到大家在街上排队跟儿子合影。
但对于阿西尔来说，在一个反复遭到塔利班叛军攻击和自杀式袭击的城市进行表演不是件容易的事情。激进分子曾威胁阿西尔，因为他们认为阿西尔的表演是反伊斯兰的。
但阿西尔依然在公共公园、贫困青年家、私人聚会、国际援助机构活动上进行表演。
我想给人们一次机会，让他们忘却烦恼，比如阿富汗的战争、冲突、不安，他在接受路透社采访时如是说道。
为了实现这一点，他在城市附近表演以及与粉丝会面时始终保持微笑。但阿西尔说，他内心其实会不由自主地感到害怕，害怕会有袭击发生。
我很怕会受到自杀式袭击和爆炸的攻击，但这些问题不能阻止我做另一个卓别林，他说道。
